one of my favorite year's best from Gardner Dozois. It draws heavily from Asimov's science fiction mag which had a very good year. Some of my favorites from this compilation include the remarkable "The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter" by Lucius Shepard, "Kirinyaga" by Mike Resnick, "Glacier" by Kim Stanley Robinson and Connie Willis's "Last of the Winnebagoes". There are many more very fine stories. ( )

Great collection, notably "Peaches for Mad Molly", "The Last of the Winnebagoes", "Love in Vain", and "The Scalehunter's Beautiful Daughter". ( )
